Chiran travel guide

 

Chiran is a small town in the middle of the Satsuma Peninsula. It is called a “small Kyoto”

and has a preserved Samurai district including a collection of Samurai houses

and gardens. Another interesting place to visit is the Chiran Peace Museum.

 


 

Chiran Samurai Residence

Those Samurai Houses were built about 250 years ago. Their

gardens are beautiful designed, with Mt. Hahaga-dake as the

background. Other natural elements are also incorporated, making

the whole area resemble a series of miniature of Japanese 

gardens housed in boxes.


 

Chiran Peace Museum for the Kamikaze Pilots

This museum exhibits precious materials such as pictures, letters,

wills, articles and mementos of the 1,036 Kamikaze pilots based in

Chiran who participated in the Battle for Okinawa towards the end

of World War 2.  It also houses a No.3 type fighter aircraft, Hien.
